My Story

To celebrate my 8th birthday I want to raise money to support children with cancer, and their families, in the developing world.

Every year 300,000 children develop cancer. 80% of children with cancer in the developed world will now survive, but sadly survival rates are as low as 10% in the developing world. Our vision is a world where every child, regardless of where they live, receives the best possible treatment and care, and is able to realise their ambitions and dreams.

Your donation will help to increase access to an early diagnosis for children like 9 year old Lucia. It took over 3 months and multiple journeys to Hospital de la Niñez Oaxaqueña in Mexico for Lucia to be properly diagnosed.  An early diagnosis could have saved Lucia from ongoing pain, and saved her family from being pushed further into poverty through expensive travel and drug costs.

£8 could pay for one week's worth of pain relief medication for 3 children with cancer

£25 could pay for an accurate diagnosis of a child with cancer

£50 could fund training for a healthcare worker on the early warning signs of childhood cancer
